More quotes by Charles Bukowski
Fay had a spot of blood on the left side of her mouth and I took a wet cloth and wiped it off. Women were meant to suffer no wonder they asked for constant declarations of love.
Charles Bukowski
People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective.
Charles Bukowski
I don't like jail, they got the wrong kind of bars in there.
Charles Bukowski
Baby, I said. I'm a genius but nobody knows it but me.
Charles Bukowski
Love is all right for those who can handle the psychic overload. It's like trying to carry a full garbage can on your back over a rushing river of piss.
Charles Bukowski
Finally there is nothing here for death to take away.
Charles Bukowski
I take much pleasure in being alone but there is also a strange warm grace in not being alone.
Charles Bukowski
There's a small balcony here, the door is open and I can see the lights of the cars on the Harbor Freeway south, they never stop, that roll of lights, on and on. All those people. What are they doing? What are they thinking? We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.
Charles Bukowski
agony sometimes changes form but it never ceases for anybody.
Charles Bukowski
People need me. I fill them. If they can't see me for a while they get desperate, they get sick. But if I see them too often I get sick. It's hard to feed without getting fed.
Charles Bukowski
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
Charles Bukowski
I'm only interested in poetry.
Charles Bukowski
He asked, what makes a man a writer? well, I said, it's simple, it's either you get it down on paper or you jump off a bridge. writers are desperate people and when they stop being desperate they stop being writers. are you desperate? I don't know.
Charles Bukowski
It is possible to be truly mad and to still exist upon scraps of life.
Charles Bukowski
we know God is dead, they've told us, but listening to you I wasn't sure.
Charles Bukowski
The crazy ones only laugh when there is no reason to laugh.
Charles Bukowski
I remember awakening one morning and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love.
Charles Bukowski
When Ginsburg is at the top of his game you might as well put down your toys and listen.
Charles Bukowski
There's nothing unusual about love.
Charles Bukowski
How are his poems? He's not as good as he thinks he is, but then most of us feel that way.
Charles Bukowski
